There was a time
when the ends justified the means.
Mama said eat those green beans
and everything will be alright.
Kiss you on the head goodnight
and then you're of to bed.
Don't ask questions just do
what your mama said.

Look around,
your mama ain't there anymore.
No one to tell you what to do,
like she's done before.
Mentally slow, still a child,
now forced to make it on your own.
And you're feeling
oh' so alone.

Life is a book,
it's up to you
to turn the page.
it's time to grow up,
right now,
it's time to start acting your age.
Let go of her hand
is what you got to do.
This is one fairy tale
your mom can't read to you.
To you. (3x)
